. DEVICE'FOB ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING CIRCULATION OF AIR.

Application fled November 10, Serial No. 68,178.

My invention pertains to means for'putting air in motion for cooling purposes.-

The object of my said invention is the provision of a device adapted to establish and to maintain the circulation of air to and from the device, as distinguished from the straight blast of air directed away from the well known electric fan, the air in accordance with m invention being drawn to my novel device y the creation of a partial vacuum in the device which tends to lower ing discharged from the device so as to carry it to a point remote from the device from whence it will be taken back to-the device so that a cycle of air will be formed in an apartment or in an auditorium for the purpose, of rendering the temperature therein cool and comfortable. I,

Other objects and practical advantages of the invention will be fully understood from the following description and claims when thesame are read in connection with the drawings, accompanying and forming part -of this specification, in which:-

Figure 1 is a view showing the preferred embodiment of my invention in elevation diagrammatically the courseof the air toand from the device.

Figure 2 is an enlarged vertical section illustrating the preferred embodiment of my invention per se.

Similar numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all of the views of the drawings.

My novel device may be formed of any material or plurality of materials consonant with its purpose, the material or materials that enter into the device not being of my invention.

Among other elements the device comrises a stand or body 1, preferably hollow or the. sake of lightness, though I would have it understand that I do not confine m self to the employment of hollow stan s. In additionto the stand or sup 'ort 1, the device comprises an intake con uit 2, the said intake conduit having its' mouth 3 corresponding in width to the base of the stand or support 1, which base is prefl1 (1 self to the specific. construction and re ative' erably of rectangular form. The stan or base 1' is ta ered upwardldy, and the conduit 2- is re erably incline to the extent indicate and is mer d at its upper end into a chamber3 in w ich during the operation of my novel device, there is a tendency to create a partial vacuum. The said chamber 3 is located in the upper portion of the stand or sup ort 1 and is preferably (gradually enlarge in transverse area upwar ly, and ismerged, in turn, into an eduction orifice, front of the stand or su port 1.

Located in the cham lier 3 is a fan 5 of rotary type, the function of which is'to expel air from the chamber 3 and force the same through the orifice 4, and by so doing to tend to create a partial vacuum in the chamber 3 with the result that air will be drawn through the conduit 2 to the said chamber 3. At 6 is adeflector the function of which is to direct the air emitted through the orifice 4 downwardly upon a rotary fan 7 which fan 7 is backed by the upper portion of the stand or su port 1 as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, an is designed to move the-air under pressure toward the right in Figure 1 or away from the face of the stand or support 1. The deflector is preferably connected in pivotal manner as esignated by 8 andat 9 is adjustablyfixed, so that it may be positioned to direct the air to the best advantage'tothe blades of the fan 7.

Any ap ropriate means may be employed to rotate t e fans 5 and? at a high rate of speed. I prefer, however, to fix the said fans on a common shaft 10, and I also prefer that the shaft 10 be the armature shaft of an electric motor 11. ing fixed to the rear side of the stand or support 1, and advantageous inasmuch as it lends itself to the simplicity, compactness and efficiency of the device as a whole.

It will be apparent from the foregoing that incident to the operation of my novel device, the. circulation of air through an apartment or through a large enclosure such as an auditorium, will maintain the air in a cool, fresh and wholesomestate.

I have specifically described the referred construction of my'inv ntion in or er to mpart a full, clear and exact understand ng of the said construction. I do not desire, owever, to be understood as confinin myarrangement of the parts as disclosed,-my invention being1 defined by my appended claims within 1; e sco tions in structure :an arrangement may be The said motor be-' of which, modificalocated at the top of the the arrangement'set forth being made without departure from my invention. Having described my invention, What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s:-

1. An air circulating device comprising a stand, an inclined conduit in the stand and havng an induction orifice at its lower end, a chamber in the stand and into which the. conduit is merged at its upper end, said chamber being gradually increased in size upwardly and being merged, in turn, into an eduction orifice disposed in the same general direction as the induction orifice of said conduit, and rotary fans mounted one, in the said chamber and one in front of the stand and in a plane below that of the said eduction orifice.

2. Air circulation means including a chamber, said chamber having induction and eduction appurtenances, means in said chamber for creating a partial vacuum therein and thereby maintaining the circulation of air through said induction and eduction appurtenances, and means to which air passes from the eduction appurtenance, the last named means being adapted to force the air in a direction away from the circulation means, and being combined with means mounted above the eduction appurtenance for directing air to the said air forcing means.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
